PIP Assessment this Sunday! was created by Julie
A friend has been sent a letter saying her assessment is this Sunday - can this be right? She hasn't received the supporting evidence she needs for it and has rung to change the date - which they will do but they refused to rebook for after the end of May. Does she have the right to refuse to attend until her supporting evidence arrives?

Some Assessment Offices are open on a Sunday.

Having cancelled the original appointment they must now attend the new appointment wherever and whenever it is booked for. She cannot refuse to attend because her supporting evidence is not available, doing so will likely result in her claim being closed.

Thanks, that's helpful - supporting evidence is apparently en route, so hopefully it will arrive for whenever the appointment is rebooked for.

I've just posted about my assessment being cancelled as I said "no I need a home visit", now I do not have to attend at all.

You will need to read my post wo how this decision came

i would demand a home visit, they will cancel appointment while they contact your doctor
